A radio frequency identification (RFID) workstation reader for RFID-enabled surgical instruments and surgical instrument trays and a method of using a RFID workstation reader to read RFID-enabled surgical instruments and surgical instrument trays is disclosed. The method, apparatus, and system enable individual instruments or a surgical instrument tray containing several surgical instruments to be quickly and efficiently inventoried and tracked. An instrument or instrument tray is placed on the workstation reader. An RF field generated by a plurality of antennae, causes RFID tags embedded in or attached to the instrument or instrument tray to emit a signal containing item specific identification information stored in the tags. The information is received by a control circuit and passed to a computer for data analysis. A status LED is illuminated on the workstation reader based on the results of the data analysis. The method, apparatus, and system can track, inspect, and verify inbound and outbound surgical instrument kits, and help to assess the surgical instruments' and trays' duty life cycle usage.

In various embodiments of the present invention, documents (such as PDF documents) are converted into HTML 5 (and CSS 3) formats and integrated into existing HTML 5 web pages in a manner that preserves the original fonts embedded within the documents. The fonts can also be integrated or embedded (e.g., via the standard HTML “iframe” tag) into other web pages. The original appearance of the source document is maintained, the text is preserved as searchable text, and the document is integrated into a web page that can be searched, zoomed, scrolled, printed, etc., utilizing standard web browser controls. As a result, a significantly increased “ad inventory” is enabled, wherein advertisements can be integrated between the individual pages (or even within a page) of the document. In addition, the resulting document (independent of its format) can be passively shared with desired members of a user's external social networks (as well as any social network within the host website), along with other activities and behavior performed by the user on the website hosting the document.

Smart instrument tray RFID reader
ActiveUS20060043179A1Reduce processing costsInterference problemSurgical furnitureDiagnosticsEngineeringElectromagnetic field
A method and apparatus for automatically identifying the contents of an instrument tray by use of a radio-frequency tag (RFID) is disclosed. The method, apparatus, and system enable the instrument tray to receive an interrogation signal from a reader and to respond to the interrogation signal with a code comprised of its identifying information as well as its contents of radio frequency tagged instruments. Both the instrument tray and / or the reader may be coupled by a proximity electromagnetic field, an inductive coupling, or may be units of a wireless LAN system such as a wireless fidelity local area network. The interrogation signal interrogates the tray to ascertain its contents, and the tray in turn transmits a signal to the reader to inform the reader of its contents. The method, apparatus, and system can track, inspect, and verify inbound and outbound surgical instrument trays and kits, to assess, for example, the surgical instruments' and trays' duty life cycle usage.

A method of detecting, comparing, blocking, and eliminating spam emails sent through email servers of Internet service providers (ISPs) or to email users' email-boxes. The method includes the steps of generating a spam decipher signature for each email in an ISP's mail server or a user's email-box, comparing newly generated spam decipher signatures to a server or user database containing spam decipher signatures of known spam emails to detect spam emails when there is a probability match at a pre-determined high percentage, and preventing the spam emails from going through the ISP's mail server or to the email user as non-spam emails. The method also includes the steps of updating a master spam decipher signature database by comparing spam decipher signatures in a new signature database with existing spam decipher signatures in the master database, incrementing a counter value of a matching spam decipher signature by the number of matches, and adding all new spam decipher signatures that have counter values reaching or exceeding a pre-set threshold and therefore are considered spam to the master spam decipher signature database. The method further includes the steps of initially loading the master spam decipher signature database to the ISP email server or the user's computer to establish the server or user database, and updating the server or user database with the master spam decipher signature database.

Adaptive network-centric online autonomic supply chain management system
InactiveUS20050154653A1Speeding up delivery/retrogradeIncrease supplyDigital data processing detailsResourcesMicrocontrollerOperational costs
Provided is an agile, adaptive, globally deployable online network-centric autonomic supply chain management system that when triggered by a predictive / diagnostic condition management system, without user-maintainer intervention, autonomously authorizes a complete requisitioning cycle of supply chain assets to warfighters with unprecedented criticality of speed. A requisitioning cycle is comprised of: (1) asset issue authorization to a vehicle / requester (2) retrograde [return] of repairable to depot and (3) replenishment [resupply] of drawn inventory. It also autonomically provides global total asset visibility of the asset(s) of interest and a tempo surge-priority ranking with a calm-down functions. The system operates in either default autonomic mode or a user activated semi-autonomic mode. In either mode of operation a requisition cycle is accomplished autonomically by selection of the most affordable transportation that ensures delivery of an asset to a user in accordance with contractually specified time-definite delivery standards. The system's material delivery performance effectiveness percentage rate is archived for billing purposes and monitoring system performance metrics. The system almost eliminates SCM administration personpower requirements. It accelerates the entire logistics supply pipeline, resulting in:—higher annual inventory turn-rates thus permitting inventory levels to be reduced and smaller wartime pack up kits thereby lowering lifetime total operating costs. Smaller pack up kits reduces the logistics footprint and thus the number of cargo aircraft required to deploy a unit.

ActiveUS9558636B1Minimal impactLow levelComplete banking machinesUser identity/authority verificationComputer networkShortest distance
A bank server allows a user of one ATM to reserve cash at another, nearby ATM when the first ATM has an inadequate cash inventory to serve the user's requested transaction. The user attempts to withdraw cash from the first ATM, but the first ATM has insufficient cash to perform the withdrawal transaction. Through the first ATM, the bank server offers the user a cash reservation at the other ATM. The bank server causes the other ATM to reserve a requested amount of cash for the user, possibly refusing to dispense cash to other users if doing so would leave the other ATM with insufficient cash to dispense the reserved cash. The user travels a short distance to the other ATM and withdraws the reserved cash. In effect, the other ATM can now perform the withdrawal transaction requested of the first ATM when the first ATM couldn't.

A repeatability score is described for determining the quality and reliability of product sales data for generating seasonal demand forecasts. The repeatability scores are calculated from seasonal sales data stored in a data warehouse. Products are sorted based on their reliability scores such that those products that are highly seasonal and have a reliable year-to-year demand pattern are used to form initial or unique demand models. Products that are determined to be less reliable based on their repeatability score are added to the unique demand models through an iterative matching process or left out of the unique demand models.
